Hi Allen.
Been away for a couple of days and couldn't reply to your message earlier.
Well, it's not that I'm *complaining* about all the work to do. You're
perfectly right, it isn't that much of a hardship to click to the message, I
can live with it the way things are now. It's just that I was interested in
the possibility to 'automate tasks', 'cause that's why I use a computer
anyway, to make things in life easier then they are when using pen and
pencil, the good old Rolodex, snailmail, etc. Like I could use a hand-drill
whenever I need a hole somewhere, but instead I use my electric drill.
So, I wondered if it would be possible to:
1. flag a message for follow-up;
2. type a text ("this is what I've got to do") in the 'note-field';
3. display this text when the reminder pops up, thus reminding me of the
things I have to do ('cause that's where the reminder is about, about
performing a task, and not about the subjectline of the email-message).
I have to confess, it's a somewhat theoretical problem. But, I learned most
things about computers and programs trying to make them do the 'silly'
things I thought of; translating a given problem into computer-language
(starting with Algol).
